The Steel Guitar Forum

I recently added the Franklin pedal (P4) (with a lot of help from the forumn!) and am now considering changing my "g" lever to raise full step instead of half and adding the D#->E raise as well. I play in a band that does a lot of PF songs, so I thought getting close to his setup would make it easier .
I've done a few searchs on the forumn and found some helpful stuff so far (mostly on the Franklin pedal).

I saw PF has two cds for sale on both these changes and I have 2 questions about these:
(1) How hard is it to learn by cd without tab? I know this is the way it used to be done, just not sure how I would like it.
(2) Do the cds contain the actual ideas behind the pedals/levers (theory,etc...) or is it more on the lines of "here's a lick in D...here's an intro in A...etc?

Thanks!
PS. Maybe this is in the wrong section?

Mark Paul's lessons are very descriptive and he tells you exactly what he is doing. If tab for you is easier you can always listen to the lesson and write your own tab based on his explanation. You will find it easier to play and remember after you write it down anyway.

Were you at the Denver show yesterday?

Both of those pedal moves that Paul has are almost necessary to cop his playing style plus you have to have a lot of talent and practice time.

Good luck.

I was in Chicago all weekend, so I missed the show.

...plus you have to have a lot of talent and practice time.

Ain't that the truth!
